MediStar Crisis Corps / MSCC

Founding and Purpose

In 2946, the MediStar Crisis Corps (MSCC) was established in the wake of the catastrophic Vega II Incident, where a Vanduul raid left thousands stranded without medical aid in the embattled system. Founded by Dr. Robert Colquhoun, a former UEE Navy trauma specialist, and Mathias Fengari, A former UEE combat medic and field journalist, MSCC was created to answer a desperate need: rapid, reliable medical response in the most dangerous corners of the United Empire of Earth (UEE) and beyond. With the UEE’s resources stretched thin and private corporations prioritizing profit over lives, MSCC vowed to deliver emergency care to anyone citizen, outlaw, or alien under the mantra: “In crisis, we rise.”

The MediStar Crisis Corps (MSCC) specializes in high-stakes medical interventions, from battlefield extractions to disaster relief in asteroid-ravaged mining colonies. Operating in lawless systems like Pyro and contested zones like Virgil, MSCC’s red and white ships are a symbol of hope for those facing death in the void.

Structure and Operations

MSCC operates as a lean, mobile organization with a fleet of medical ships all optimized for rapid response. Their headquarters, located in New Babbage on the planet Microtech, serving as a dispatch hub, medical training center, and supply depot.

The organization is divided into two key branches:

Crisis Strike Teams: Elite medics trained for combat zones, equipped with Curelife Medical Tools and ParaMed Medical Devices to stabilize patients under fire. These teams often deploy alongside security escorts to secure landing zones, using URSA Medivac vehicles for ground-based extractions.

Exploration Flight Wings:
The Exploration Flight Wing represents the vanguard of MSCC’s operations, pushing into uncharted jump points, derelict wrecks, and radiation-scarred anomalies to pre-empt crises before they escalate. Formed in 2948 amid rising reports of lost prospectors in Pyro’s unstable nebulae and Virgil’s contested fringes, this branch combines long-range scanning with proactive medical outreach. Their motto: “We find them before the void claims them.”

MSCC funds its operations through a mix of service fees (scaled to clients’ means), contracts with frontier outposts, and discreet donations from sympathetic traders and Banu collectives. Their willingness to accept untraceable credits has sparked rumours of ties to outlaw factions, but MSCC maintains strict neutrality to keep their lifesaving work unhindered.

Culture and Values

The MediStar Crisis Corps (MSCC) is a tight-knit brotherhood of risk-takers and healers, drawing from diverse backgrounds: ex-UEE medics, rogue cyber-surgeons, and even Xi’an-trained bioengineers. Crews are trained to operate in chaos, performing surgeries in Tier 2 Medical Beds during hull breaches or navigating dogfights while stabilizing patients. Their culture is defined by courage, pragmatism, and a fierce commitment to saving lives, encapsulated in their unofficial creed: “First to the fight, last to leave.”

MSCC’s neutrality is both their strength and their controversy. They treat all patients UEE marines, pirate raiders, or stranded Banu without discrimination, earning trust from unlikely allies but suspicion from UEE authorities. Crews wear their red-and-white patches with pride, knowing each mission could be their last.

Key Figures

Dr. Robert Colquhoun: Founder and chief medical officer, Robert is a battle-tested combat medic and trauma specialist whose pioneering techniques in on the ground stabilization using Curelife Medical Tools have saved countless lives during intense UEE ground operations and bunker assaults during his UEE tenure.

Call-sign “Rescue_One” Roberts name became legend in the blood-soaked corridors of UEE forward operating bases and the smoke-filled bunkers of contested worlds. A former Lieutenant Commander in the UEE Navy’s 9th Forward Surgical Team “Reapers,” he spent over a decade sprinting through live-fire zones with nothing but a Curelife MedGun in one hand and a Beacon T2 defibrillator in the other, dragging marines out of kill-zones while rounds snapped overhead.

“Keep shooting, I’m here, but this’ll sting.” – R. Colquhoun

Mathias Fengari: A former UEE combat medic and field journalist, Mathias Fengari brings years of front-line medical and flight experience to Medistar Crisis Corps. Trained in aeromedical evacuation and small-craft operations, he specializes in rapid-response rescue, shipboard triage, and crisis coordination.

Known for his calm under pressure and precision at the helm, Fengari documents every mission through his personal recorder — part habit, part history. His footage has become a vital tool for training, investigation, and remembering those who don’t make it home.

Whether stabilizing critical patients in vacuum conditions or piloting evac craft through active combat zones, he’s the one you call when everything is going wrong.

“Record the story. Save the life. Fly the line.” — M. Fengari

Reputation and Challenges

MSCC is renowned for its daring rescues, like the 2952 Nyx Outpost Rescue, where they extracted 200 survivors from a pirate-ravaged station under heavy fire using Apollo’s and URSA Medivac units. Their red and white ships and vehicles are a welcome sight for spacers in distress, but their neutrality draws heat from the UEE, who accuse them of aiding criminals, and from pirates, who see their interference as a threat. MSCC’s operations in volatile systems like Pyro expose them to constant danger, from ambushes to sabotage by rival medical conglomerates.

Internally, MSCC grapples with resource shortages and the ethical dilemmas of treating all sides in a conflict. Their reliance on questionable funding sources fuels speculation, but their results lives saved in impossible conditions silence most critics.

Technology and Innovations

MSCC’s tech is tailored for crisis response. Their Tier 3 Medical Beds can stabilize patients for extended periods, enabling long-distance evacuations. ParaMed Medical Devices, handheld tools that stabilize critical injuries, are standard for Trauma Strike Teams. Their Curelife Medical Tools can assess and triage patients in hazardous environments, relaying data to medics before they land, often deployed from URSA Medivac vehicles.

In the ‘Verse

In Star Citizen, MediStar Crisis Corps (MSCC) could appear in dynamic missions, hiring players to escort their fleet of medical ships, or to protect URSA Medivac ground operations from raids. Players might spot MSCC’s red and white ships and vehicles swooping into a wrecked Constellation or a besieged outpost. For roleplayers, MSCC offers rich opportunities as medics, pilots, or security, with moral choices like treating an outlaw versus a UEE soldier adding depth to the experience.

MSCC’s presence brings a pulse of humanity to the unforgiving ‘verse, proving that even in the darkest crises, hope can endure.
